Brad Baker

2024-2026

I joined after being bugged by Greg Jump for a few years....he told me that I could help the Association grow and help bowlers, so I said what the heck, and here I am.

My memories picking up the 7-10, but not seeing it, turned around and walked away because I thought that I missed it.....Going to Nationals  with my dad.....being voted secretary/treasurer of the,then trades league, without being there to decline the opportunity.

2024-2026

I guess the main reason is because I thought that I'd be able to help the association give our bowlers better experiences by having more tournaments with different formats. A lot of our bowlers like these "fun" tournaments. My best bowling memory would have to be my 300 game in the Tuesday afternoon John Deere league.

I joined the GRICO board because I want to have an impact on future events/tournaments organized by GRICO and to further grow the sport of bowling. My best memory of bowling was when I shot my first 800 series. It just happened when I was bowling league with my dad. Him being there made it special. 

Director

Deb Funk

2025-2027

I joined GRICO in the late 1990’s because I wanted to learn more about the sport and to see how things worked as a local association.  Even though I  didn’t elected for the original GRICO board, I was asked to join in the middle of that first season. I have always been a good note taker and every month I have to give my notes to the AM so he can write up minutes from the meetings. I have two thrills when it comes to bowling the first is when I bowled a 279 game and the second is the first time bowling at nationals, it was such a thrill.
